Method
Whisk the flour, cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and salt together in a bowl.
Beat the softened butter with 250g of the granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Fold in the flour mixture until just combined into a soft dough.
Mix the remaining granulated sugar with the ground cinnamon on a plate, then roll balls of the dough in the mixture to coat.
Bake at 190°C until the edges are set but the centres still look soft, then leave on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
